In this week's episode, the Cups move into a series discussing the many different assassin cells, starting with Francesco Vecellio's cell! This series will focus mostly on the modern-day assassins. While Vecellio's cell is from the 1400s and definitely isn't modern, his cell forms a basis that many of the other cells will copy. Listen now! We've launched a Patreon!

In this week's episode, the Cups are back to breaking down another obscure Piece of Eden. This time, we're discussing a Piece of Eden that also happens to be a central part of Norse mythology. We're discussing the World Tree--Yggdrasil. Connected to the Norse Aesir gods, like Odin, Thor, and Loki, the World Tree is massively important both in Norse mythological tales and also in the Assassin's Cre...

In this week's episode, the Cups break down more yet another obscure Piece of Eden. This time, we're discussing the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond. In our world, this diamond has been in the possession of the British Royal family for over a century. But in the Assassin's Creed universe, the Koh-i-Noor that the British Royal family holds is a fake. We dive into the history of the "real" Koh-i-Noor in...

Welcome to SEASON THREE!!! In this week's episode, the Cups break down more Pieces of Eden. This time, we're discussing some Pieces of Eden that are more obscure and not quite as tied to main questlines among all the Assassin's Creed games. We specifically discuss the Eye, crystal balls, and the Observatory. We've launched a Patreon! Join us as a subscriber, and at certain tiers, you can even join...

In this week's episode, the Cups close out their Isu season with another Character Deep Dive. This week, we're looking at the last of the OG trio--Rebecca Crane.

She also plays a pivotal role throughout the games. We take a look at her appea...

This week, the Cups talk about three more Isu. These three are Hades, Poseidon, and Hermes--and the last three we'll be discussing this season. Don't worry, we'll revisit the Isu especially as we learn more about them in new Assassin's Creed content. We talk about these three and their specific contributions, and focus on how these three Isu are a little bit different than some of the others. *NEW...

This week, the Cups answer a patron-submitted question! Mk10Gamer asked if we could rank all the non-player characters (or NPCs) in the games. We decided to stick to ranking Assassin's Creed 1 through 3, and including a few more questions too! *NEW:* We've just launched a Patreon! Join us as a subscriber, and at certain tiers, you too can submit questions like these once per month! At certain tier...

This week, the Cups look at another interesting Isu--the one and only Aletheia. She is a very interesting and somewhat different Isu. She is very much a defender of humanity, and even considers herself to be a rebel. But she's also not necessarily based on just one Greek/Roman god. She's also inspired by the goddess Angrboda from Norse mythology. Join us as we continue our series on the Isu! *NEW:...

This week, the Cups take a look at two more Isu, Odin and Loki. These two Isu are the first two that have come from outside of the Greek and Roman pantheon of gods. Odin and Loki, as you may know, come from Norse mythology. We discuss how they fit into the Assassins' Creed universe and how this role is different from actual Norse mythology. *NEW:* We've just launched a Patreon! Join us as a subscr...

This week, the Cups take a look at the other two Isu that make up the Capitoline Triad, Minerva and Jupiter. Minerva is the first Isu that we meet in the games, specifically at the end of Assassin's Creed 2.

This week, the Cups take another look at Juno--or at least a group that claims to be an extension of her--the Instruments of the First Will.
